...cool appraisal, feature for feature, she doesn't match up to Hepburn. (Who in the world could?) She has the round, puddingy face of a young Angela Lansbury or Joan Plowright. Your eyes are drawn to the deep dimple that, when she laughs, runs up her left cheek like a sweet scar; and your ears to her rich cello voice, so mature and supple an instrument for someone who's played girls on the cusp of womanhood since her movie debut as Keira Knightley's sister Kitty in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice...
When photography was invented, it took from painting a lot of the more practical image-making and recording tasks. And so painting was left pretty much with its aesthetic qualities, because most of the practical things you could do with painting were much more easily done with photography.

...crucial first step is to lower costs, inventory and manufacturing infrastructure to levels more in line with demand. Overzealous production had left the company with millions of dollars' worth of unwanted stock by mid-2008.

"Some resent him as the living legacy of Mitterrand. The left is still furious at him for agreeing to serve under Sarkozy. Still others want to make him pay for his sophisticated...
...furor over the aid package has left President Asif Ali Zardari increasingly isolated as normally fractious opposition parties unite against its "humiliating" conditions, with even the junior partners in Zardari's ruling coalition expressing misgivings. Public opinion ranges from suspicion to hostility, and the army high command broke with its recent habit of remaining quiet on political matters to issue an ominous statement. Following a meeting of its corps commanders, the army - the country's most powerful institution, long accustomed to keeping the political class in line - expressed "serious concern" over what it said were the "national security" implications...
